Chapter Three: Tails' New Best Friend

Sonic was already back from his run and regrouped with his team when they heard a honk come from outside. Chuck came out of his car and came inside with a bag.

"What's in the bag, grandpa?" Chris asked.

"You'll see, but I have to show you in the attic."

Everybody went to the attic, anxious to see what the surprise is( except for Ella and Mr. Tanaka). Before they could see what it is, Chuck locked Sky and Bolt in the closet. When he opened the bag up, the puppy shot its head up and everybody was surprised. The puppy crawled out and went to go greet Cream first. He jumped in her lap and started giving her kisses.

"Hee hee! That tickles."

The puppy ran over to Chris next and started chewing his shoelace.

"He's adorable, grandpa. Where did you find him?"

"I found him underneath my car. I hit the poor little guy, but when he came out, he looked absolutely fine. No dents. No marks."

The puppy ran over to Sonic who didn't really care.

"Something wrong, Sonic?" Chris asked.

"No, it's just that I'm not really a dog person like the rest of you."

The puppy cocked his head like, "Aren't you gonna pet me or something?" He ran over to Amy and jumped on her lap. She patted him and said, "Sonic, you have no taste in dogs. They're loving creatures."

"Not to me."

She mumbled something under her breath and let him go to Tails. He froze like a statue when he saw the two tails on Tails. He unwrapped his two tails which everybody was surprised. He jumped in Tails' lap and pulled on one of Tails' tails.

"He looks just like you, buddy." Sonic said.

The puppy nodded. "I DO look like you. Don't cha think?"

Tails stroked his black ears and said, "I have to admit that he does, but do you think that Sky and Bolt will get along with him?"

"Lets find out."

Sonic opened the closet door and let them both out. Sky hesitated for a while like she was saying, "Should I come out? Should I come out?"

As soon as she saw the puppy, she raced over to it and said, "A puppy! It's a cute Dalmatian puppy, Bolt! My name's Sky and that's Bolt. What's your's?"

"Dalm."

"That's a weird name for you. Why ya named that?" Bolt asked.

"Before I didn't have any spots, I was just a white Dalmatian and I hated the name, Domino."

"It still sounds weird."

Sky nudged him and said, "Be nice, Bolt. I like it." Dalm smiled at that remark.

"I think they get along." Chris said.

"And I think I wanna keep him." Tails said.

Everybody was shocked to hear that.

"You actually want to keep him?" Amy asked.

"Of course. I have to admit that he has two tails."

Dalm snuggled up closer to him. He had found the perfect forever owner.

Everybody repeat after me: AAAWWWWWWW!
